They also happen to be gluten, dairy and egg free, vegan and Paleo and Whole30 compliant. So basically they are perfect.

I really love that they have the distinct look of Spring with that bright green color (isn’t it pretty!?) but they are easy to make any time of year since fresh herbs are always available.

I used little Yukon Gold potatoes (they sell bags of them at Trader Joes) but you could use the waxy red, white or purple potatoes too. Enjoy!
